Compared to last Wednesday: Steers - 450 - 499 lbs were 1.00 to 2.00 higher; 550 - 599 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 higher, no other comparisons available on steers. Heifers - 450 - 499 lbs would be 2.00 to 4.00 higher, while the 500 - 549 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 higher. no other comparisons available. Today's offering was met with an active market and fairly good demand for the fully preconditioned calves right off the cow. Due to the recent weather the calves were in varied flesh condition. The next feeder sale will be Friday, November 6, 2020. Stay safe.
